Search the Brake forum for Brake Fluid:

Review: ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid!!!

Search the Drivetrain forum for "best transmission fluid":

What you need for transmission fluid change.

These were obtained by a simple search. If they don't answer your question, you could do a more extensive search. Also, if you post a thread with questions, try and post it in the right forum. Instead of posting one thread in the newbie forum, you would have been better served posting an individual thread in each of the proper forums.

For now, I've moved it to General.

might as well get some braided SS lines (if you dont have em already) too if you're gonna do the brake fluid, when i got new lines i went with ATE super blue, i've heard alot of good things about it and my brake pedal is like pushing a brick now

I used Royal Purple in my tranny and dont like it, it shift very stiff when cold. I wish I had gone with OEM. I run Motul brake fluid, but its a bit overkill.

Tranny - 2 choices - Motul Gear300 or Subaru ExtraS

Brakes - we've had very good luck with either the ATE (blue or amber) and with RBF600.
